Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom…”
(Daniel 2:40-41)

Doesn’t matter how strong a kingdom is, Jesus.

A house divided against itself cannot stand –

which is a warning to my nation

right now.

Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations…”
(Ephesians 3:4-5)

Oh, they knew the Messiah was coming, Jesus –

from the very moment You confronted the serpent
in the Garden of Eden.

Through more than 500 verses of Scripture in the Old Testament

You continued to provide clues
all the way up to Your arrival in Bethlehem.

But not until Your stunning death, burial and resurrection

did the miraculous mystery of who You really are

finally sink in!

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“He proclaimed, ‘Forty more days and Ninevah will be overturned.’”
(Jonah 3:4)

Finally, Jonah obeyed You, Jesus.

First, he ran away
hopped a ship in the opposite direction.

Stupid decision.
No one can run away from You.

You sent a storm so bad the sailors threw him overboard
had a great fish swallow him until he repented, then spit him out.

Now, he’s preaching like You told him to.

How much better
when I obey You the first time!

Pray this Lazaroo with overwhelming gratitude:

“Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD…”
(Jonah 3:3)

Finally, Jesus.

After he disobeyed You the first time.
After he ran from You.
After You had to scare the living daylights out of him.

Now he obeys.

Sadly, I can identify!

How many times have You had to correct me
turn me around?

You could say, “Too late, Bucko! I’m sick and tired of you.”

But You don’t.

With loving, forgiving arms open wide

You welcome me back home.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…they…prostituted themselves to other gods…”
(Judges 2:17)

You hate idol worship, don’t You, Jesus?

It’s not theoretical.
It’s not legalistic.
It’s Personal.

To You, it’s like it would be for a husband

who discovered his wife was moonlighting as a prostitute
while he was at work.

That helps me understand a little better

why You command us to smash idols

why, after giving us chance after chance to repent

You’re finally forced to punish the very ones You love.
